Picked up the "real" boat on Saturday
Launched it around 1pm. It was a bit windy on our side of the lake, so the maiden voyage started out in some real rough water. Once we got to the other side of the lake the water was a bit calmer so we were able to cruise around for a couple hours, breaking in the motor, and enjoying the new boat
It was a little chilly so we ended up with hoodies on, but it was still a blast.
Sunday we got 5 of us on there and we all went skiing / wakeboarding. The 5.0 pulls people up out of the water pretty well. Two of them got up on 1 ski. I'm getting progressively better at wakeboarding. I still haven't jumped the wake, but I'm getting a little bit of air now, and able to land about 80% of the time. Which is pretty good considering I was hardly maybe getting a few inches of air last year, and hardly ever landing. We need to get a shorter tow rope, and a wakeboard tower eventually, but that'll come with time.
On to some pics of the new girl. There are a couple flaws, but almost all of them will be taken care of this fall as we got a 6yr warantee. They told us to just take it for now, they noted all the issues, and enjoy it for the rest of the season and just bring it in for the warrantee stuff come late fall.
